Oscar Wilde is the
author of quotation "Everything popular is wrong". I
found this phrase a couple of days ago. And thank about it. I found this phrase
is a good definition of wrong priorities that people have today. We read in magazines and watch on TV about
lifestyle which isn't the best variant. For example, a lot of bad habits are
consequences of copying popular styles. Like “cool boys always smoke”. “Alcohol
is the best way to relax,” is a good example of wrong popular opinion.
And some words about
actual things.Today a lot of people talk about doomsday which will be at 21 of
December in accordance with Maya’s calendar. But scientists who have deciphered
this calendar haven’t counted leap years, which were not counted in Maya’s calendar.
So, because of existence a lot of leap years and extra days which haven’t
counted, doomsday was about a half of year ago(according to Maya). Some weeks
ago one Dalai Lama said that at December, 21 the Earth will come into substance
which isn’t proved electricity, so for some weeks we’ll live in darkness. He
said that people should buy a lot of food, kerosene lamps and candles in order to
survive. But we are alive because of
electric signals. Our heart and our brain works by electrical impulses. So
there couldn’t been any logical ways of survival in such conditions. And there
couldn’t been such substance because of physics laws.
People watch TV and
trust in advertises. Advertisement is a way to create wrong sense of happiness.
“Buy new mobile phone and you’ll be in trend. In trend = in date = happy.” “You’ve
got old jeans – you are not cool. Buy jeans from new collection and you will be
cool.” “You have little time to spend it with children? No problems – just buy
yoghurt “Chudo” and make your children happier.”
It’s all for today,
because I’d like to sleep. Maybe I’ll write more about this topic later.
You won't write more later if the world ends! Just kidding. Actually, I've read stuff about how even the Mayans weren't really saying that the world was going to end in 2012. It's just the end of their longest calendar cycle, and it would be the start of a new calendar cycle if they had written it. Historians say that the Mayans would have actually considered this an exciting time to be alive because it's the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new one. It's more like New Year's than doomsday!
ОтветитьУдалить:D My mum also said to me to buy more foods which are saved for a long time and which should not be prepared. People, especial in Mockow, had such mood that they could maid "the end of the light" themselves if it had not happened. For example, some extremists could turn off electricity in whole Moscow. However, it did not happen. I am glad to now that Russian people are not so crazy.
